Amazon executives overseeing Alexa, hardware group depart the company
Summary
Gregg Zehr, president of Amazons hardware research and development group, known as Lab126, has retired, the company confirmed to CNBC. For Jassy, it marks the latest high-profile exits at a time when Amazon is staring down a multitude of challenges, from soaring inflation to slowing sales. Heather MacDougall, Amazons workplace health and safety chief, departed the company in September. Two prominent Black leaders — operations executive Dave Bozeman and Alicia Boler-Davis, senior vice president of global customer fulfillment — also announced their departures in June. Amazon has implemented a hiring freeze for corporate retail roles and has discontinued a number of projects in recent months, ranging from its Care telehealth service to its Glow video-calling projector.
